-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The friends, whom we help 
to form a connection with Buddhism,
are all linked to us by 
profound karmic bonds 
as Bodhisattvas of the Earth.
By conveying 
our deep respect for them, 
let's show our heartfelt appreciation!
Let's continue to do our very best 
to strengthen the bonds of trust 
we have with others!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"When I asked him about what you told me the other day, I found it to be exactly as you said.  You should therefore strive in faith more than ever to receive the blessings of the Lotus Sutra.  Listen with the ears of Shin K'uang and observe with the eyes of Li Lou."

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Soka means 'the power to create value.' It is the power to never give up and to keep blazing new trails of hope no matter what. Our kosen-rufu movement is about leading the way for world peace and human happiness, by enabling all people to draw forth this power from within their lives.

"Each of you is an incredibly precious treasure of humankind, possessing a great mission that only you can fulfil."
